Haha, the second I read that I came to these forums to see the reactions. Honestly, he does seem like a pretty nice guy who's just doing what he loves. And I'd be interested to hear some of this dark techno and reggae influenced stuff he has.

Re: I never realized how horrible Skrillex was until now

I was a professional DJ in LA from 2006-2010. I was really good at what I did, I made lots of money, and I was even internet famous for 30 seconds when a remix I did was on Palmsout and went viral. I love DJing and taught friends to do it.
DJing is easy. You mad.

uhhh...how about trying to be a DJ when he isnt? the guy asks to be booked for a show over 300 days a year yet he is absolutely AWFUL at mixing DESPITE using ableton and he plays the same set over and over again. how is this not pretending to be something he isnt? a DJ doesnt do that shit..he could at least be like deadmau5 and say hes not really a DJ..btw go listen to his set from ultra where he tries to use CDJ's he layers songs ontop of each other that sound absolutely GARBAGE

now hes comparing his "live" performances and the experiences it gives the crowd to daft punk's? wow this is just priceless

Re: I never realized how horrible Skrillex was until now

Haha I got y'all so mad.

I was a party DJ and didn't play clubs, so don't go looking for those. I DJ'd under my name, Joseph Guisti. I played for a lot of different type of crowds. I played the Smell, Pehrspace (google Pehrspace lovetongueattack), I DJ'd a few parties for Disney International CEO Andy Bird (and gave his teenage son DJ lessons!), and I played a lot of mainstream-y backyard parties for hollywood industry types.

Like everyone else, I dick around with stuff in Ableton and added a shitty bmore break to Radiohead's Reckoner to make it easier to play out live. People liked it. Here is a link to Kissy Sellout dropping it in a BBC mix: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/innewdjs...shtml?20071221
I used to do shitty remixes and post them as Lovetongueattack. You can find my current stuff at soundcloud/rarelicense. I go by L!cense now, and barely work on stuff because I'm a PhD student in the sociology department at Northwestern with full-ride funding a.k.a. I have a life. If you want to have a conversation like an adult with self respect and dignity, we can meet up at Coachella and talk about music production, playing shows live, and...I might even teach you how to DJ. It's easy

Some people go out and do shit and encourage other people to do it, and some people sit around talking about how what they do is sooooo intense and no one else could possible do it. Hate on, haterzzzzz

Yo. Go play 300 gigs in a year and then come back and tell us how easy it was. That shit is hard. It's physically taxing on the body. Nevermind coming up with 300 unique sets. ***** please. After 300 gigs I would be a repeat set offender too.

I feel you fake DJ. Haters gonna hate. But stop humblebragging like we give a shit about your higher education.

Re: I never realized how horrible Skrillex was until now

the 300 sets a year wouldn't be hard. It's like working 90 minutes a day 6 days a week. It'd be the traveling part that would get to me, although sitting first class and being in nice hotels wouldn't make things harder
